Wanted-Games to play at a Tiki/Luau Party - General Tiki

E-Bay is the best place to search for these - there are a ton of old pop-culture themed games available. Specifically tiki related, there is a series of Disney related games that first came out in the late 50's - one each for Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Fantasyland - and of course, the Adventureland Game with the Jungle Cruise boat proudly displayed on the cover. There is also a Hawaiian Eye boardgame that came out in 1963 that has a large tiki on the cover. One game I've only seen pictures of is called 'KAPU' - it is a picture story card game of Hawaii, put out by the Polynesian Card company. I don't own any of the specific ones listed above - they are likely to be a bit pricey, as they are definitely collectibles. But I do have many other games (James Bond themed, space travel games, old tv shows) that are fun to pull out. The game that is most requested by visitors is one called 'What Shall I Be,' a 1966 career game targeted for girls, which only offers careers as a schoolteacher, model, actress, nurse, stewardess, etc. Vern [ Edited by: ikitnrev on 2003-05-02 06:19 ]
